Then the Ducati Scrambler range also saw a significant change in the price game. While the desert sled model now costs RM7000 more than before, the Icon, night patroland Icon Dark have RM 5000, RM 5000 and RM 1000 more expensive.

Similarly, the Supersport, Monster and Hypermotard range has undergone a price review. However, a few select Ducati motorcycles have seen a price change. For example, the Panigale V4 SP (RM279,900), Multistrada V4 (RM 135,900) and Streetfighter V4 SP (RM 239,900).

4-2

Reason for the sudden price hike –

Not just in Malaysia, but prices for Ducati motorcycles have been rising around the world over the past few months. The reason for this is an increase in material, logistics and production costs as well as an increase in expenses for other natural substances.

Along the same lines, we would like to highlight the global ABS sensor storage due to inventory issues related to certain alloys and metals. May cause delivery delays for certain brands of mid-to-high end motorcycles.

Russia is mounting a high-stakes offensive on Ukraine’s southern coast and the country’s eastern industrial heartland. It is believed that up to 100,000 people are trapped in the Maripol blockade. They include up to 1,000 civilians who have been entrenched with around 2,000 Ukrainian fighters under a sprawling steelworks which is the only part of the city not occupied by the Russians.

He warned that “reckless activity” could harm the security of the alliance. The Polish military said 18,000 troops from more than 20 countries are taking part in the Defender Europe 2022 and Swift Response 2022 exercises taking place in Poland and eight other countries.

Evidence of GOP involvement in Trump’s campaign plans mounts

WASHINGTON (AP) — Text messages and testimony released by the House panel on Jan. 6 show the deep involvement of some House Republicans in President Donald Trump’s desperate bid to stay in power. The evidence provides new details about how — long before the attack on the Capitol in January 2021 unfolded — several GOP lawmakers were directly involved in Trump’s campaign to overturn the election results. The exchange of ideas occurred in private calls and texts and in several meetings at the White House in the weeks leading up to the insurgency. The majority of lawmakers have since denied involvement in those efforts.

April 30, 2022 Diana M. Cuyler Motorcycle Sale

The Junkman is an action film released in 1982 by HB Halicki, it was the second part of his trilogy which started with the original I’m going in 60 seconds and was then followed by Auto theft deadline.

During filming The Junkman over 150 cars, trucks, motorcycles and planes were destroyed, today the film still holds the Guinness World Record for the most vehicles destroyed in a single film.

Highlights – The Junkman’s Camaro

This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro was one of more than 200 cars used during the filming of “The Junkman,” but most of the vehicles didn’t make it to the end of the film, with more than 150 cars destroyed in total.
Most of the sheriff’s deputies and police officers who appeared in the film were not professional actors, they were real law enforcement personnel who had been hired, mostly from San Luis Obispo County, Paso Robles and Atascadero.
After the film was released, this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro was acquired by the California Highway Patrol Museum where it would remain on display for decades, recently passing into private hands for the first time.
This car features the 305 cubic inch V8 paired with a 3 speed automatic transmission, it has 15 inch wheels, bucket seats, sirens, headlamps, period style communication equipment and California livery Highway Patrol.

HB Halicki and “Gone In 60 Seconds”

In 1974 Halicki wrote, directed, produced and starred in the film I’m going in 60 secondsit became a cult classic appreciated for its unusual style and numerous chase scenes.

During filming, he would end up with 10 compacted vertebrae after performing the film’s 128-foot-long (39-meter) jump finale, this left him limping for the rest of his life.

Halicki’s next film would be The Junkman in 1982, he wrote, directed, produced and acted in the film, it takes place in the same cinematic universe as I’m going in 60 secondsand the previous film was referenced in the plot.

A year later, in 1983, Halicki released the third film in the trilogy, Theft Autoin which he also acted, wrote, produced and directed.

Tragically, Halicki was killed in a stunt during filming Gone in 60 seconds 2 in 1989. He was preparing for the film’s main stunt sequence in which a 160-foot-tall (49-meter) water tower was about to collapse, but a stabilizer cable attached to the water tower broke from unexpectedly, ripping out a telephone pole which fell and killed Halicki instantly.

This is the original Japanese movie poster for The Junkman, it highlights the 1974 Bricklin SV-1 and the Goodyear airship, both of which appear prominently in the film.

The remake of 2000’s “Gone In 60 Seconds”

Six years later, in 1995, Halicki’s widow, Denice Halicki, began working with Jerry Bruckheimer and the Touchstone Pictures team to produce a remake of I’m going in 60 seconds.

The film was released in 2000, it starred Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Duvall and Vinnie Jones – it would gross nearly a quarter of a billion dollars at the global box office.

Years after his death, Denice Halicki began dating Robert Kardashian, best known for portraying OJ Simpson and for being the father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian.

Walmart launches sportswear brand Love & Sports

April 29, 2022 Diana M. Cuyler Motorcycle Brand

Walmart on Friday announced the launch of a private label activewear line, Love & Sports, according to a company press release. The brand is available on Walmart’s website and will be rolled out to 1,500 stores.
The brand was created in partnership with fashion designer Michelle Smith and SoulCycle instructor Stacey Griffith.
The first collection includes 121 women’s sportswear and swimwear. Sportswear is available in sizes XS to XXXL, while swim products will be available “in the coming days” and will be available in sizes XS to XXL. All products are priced between $12 and $42, and collections will drop seasonally, with shoes and accessories being introduced this fall.

Walmart is expanding its sartorial ambitions, this time banking on the popularity of activewear.

The category has seen a surge due to the pandemic, with activewear up 37% in 2021, according to NPD Group data cited by Walmart.

Today, Walmart is focusing its efforts on a line created in partnership with a couple who know both fashion and athletics. Smith, along with her then-husband, Andrew Oshrin, founded the Milly fashion linewho was finally sold to a subsidiary de S. Rothschild in 2019. Griffith is a star instructor at SoulCycle, where they met.

“Love is what brought this whole collaboration to life,” Griffith said in a statement. “We want everyone to feel the joy we make.”

The collection they’ve produced with Walmart includes performance fabrics and apparel that embrace gym and street styles. The line consists of running shorts, cropped logo sweatshirts, nylon jackets, leggings, bike shorts and sports bras. The range includes details such as moisture-wicking fabrics, pockets, reflective strips and waistbands that can be rolled up to change from a high-waisted bottom to a low-waisted look.

Swimwear includes strapless one-piece suits, retrokini tops, halter bikini tops and bikini bottoms, in a range designed for both performance and leisure.

In a post for NPD Group last fall, senior industry advisor for sports, Matt Powell, has identified women’s sportswear as one of the biggest areas of retail opportunity. He said retail’s use of private label products is currently filling the void in the women’s market. “Private brands together account for nearly 44% of total women’s activewear sales, compared to Nike, the second largest brand, with 8% market share,” Powell said.

Following the trend, a number of retailers have pushed their efforts into the category. Early 2021, JC Penney unveiled a new iteration of its Xersion activewear line for kids, women and men, which also uses performance fabrics and is available in inclusive sizes. Target in 2020 announced a private label sportswear All in Motion brand. He continued to generate $1 billion in sales in his first year. Besides, expand into sportswear was a popular move for DTC brands like ThirdLove and Thinx, while Vuori has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to advance its efforts in the category. And category leader Lululemon topped $6 billion in revenue for the first time in 2021, driving 42% year-over-year revenue growth.

Leaked 2022 KTM RC 390 price: Here’s how much it will cost in India

April 29, 2022 Diana M. Cuyler Motorcycle Price

Ahead of the launch of the KTM RC 390 2022, the price of the motorcycle was listened to on the official website of KTM India.

KTM enthusiasts were eagerly waiting for the company to launch the 2022 RC 390 in India and we ourselves were anticipating its launch. While there is no word yet on when the bike will launch, pricing has been leaked. If the KTM India website is to be believed, the 2022 KTM RC 390 will have a starting price of Rs 2,77,635 (ex-showroom). This price is very similar to the outgoing model which is going to be appreciated by many.

The 2022 iteration of the RC 390 will be a generation change and will come with a new look. In the front, the dual projector lamps have been replaced by a single LED unit and a larger windscreen. The fairing is sharper and the graphics have also been redone. Needless to say, it will be very easy to tell the difference between the old and the new RC 390. At 13.7 litres, the fuel tank is larger and there is also a passenger seat. The finish of the seats is also different and looks like Alcantara. While the 17-inch alloy wheels are the same size, this time around they get a new 5-spoke design. The RC 390 will be available in two color options – Electronic Orange and Factory Racing Blue.

Engine	373.27cc, single cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, FI
Able	42.9 hp at 9000 rpm
Couple	37Nm at 7000 rpm
Transmission	6-speed with slipper clutch and assist
Seat height	835mm
Ground clearance	153mm
Unloaded weight	172kg

Specifications KTM RC 390 2022

The KTM RC 390 2022 also benefits from numerous improvements in terms of technology. Gone is the basic-looking digital instrument cluster, you now get a color TFT display much like the Adventure 390. It will also offer smartphone pairing via Bluetooth. You still get 37mm WP Apex inverted forks up front and a monoshock in the rear. There’s a single 320mm disc up front and a 220mm disc out back. In addition to dual-channel ABS, you also get cornering ABS for added safety.

2022-ktm-rc-390-left-side-620x349-1

As far as the engine and gearbox are concerned, there are no major changes but this is not essentially a problem. The 373.27cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine still produces 42.9hp and 37Nm, which is better than any other bike in its class. The 6-speed gearbox comes with a slipper and assist clutch and this time around KTM has also introduced a quick shifter for clutchless gear changes. There is an option to disable rear ABS and a traction control system.

Chinese sports brand LI-NING will enter the NFT market by presenting BAYC #4102

April 28, 2022 Diana M. Cuyler Motorcycle Brand

Recently, LI-NING’s official Weibo said “Guest Bored Ape Yacht Club, a famous family of Web3.0, number #4102 BAYC, as a fashion store manager of LI-NING pop-up store”. According to information previously released by LI-NING’s official WeChat account, it has been found that LI-NING will join in the #4102 BAYC exhibition in the Beijing pop-up store on April 28th. LI-NING with #4102 BAYC will create a new series of products based on the #4102 design. According to LI-NING Weibo’s version, a new design idea “bored fashion” will try to give people a different experience with a totally new design style. Speculation has arisen about the event having a “KUSO” creation about Mr. Li Ning, the Olympic gymnastics champion. LI-NING also announced a series of activities such as frisbee and locomotives, aiming to inspire more people to participate in new sports together, summoning a concept that “boredom is not so boring, too sporty than fashionable”.

Does the LI-NING x BAYC series signal the sports brand’s commitment to the NFT market?

This event caught the attention of many people. As soon as the news broke, blockchain media and NFT communities in China started talking about it. As the first Chinese brand in the NFT market to sport the BAYC image, LI-NING’s association will undoubtedly benefit the recently declining market. Obviously, the “viewers” are curious about what BAYC is, why is BAYC so expensive, and why would LI-NING use it as a new design series? This time, LI-NING has undoubtedly built a bridge between Web2.0 and Web3.0, letting Web2.0 users know what NFT is, and bringing NFT and BAYC to public users. The company has brought great value to NFTs, and it has also made its millions of Chinese users feel that the era of NFTs is approaching.

With the vigorous development of digital art in recent years, the NFT market has succeeded in “breaking the line” and become the “superstar” of the digital art market. Since last year, whether it is Porsche, Valentino, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Givenchy, Alibaba, Tencent and other giants in the traditional fashion, restaurant, luxury or automotive industry, tried to get involved in this industry. Celebrities like Eminem, Justin Bieber, Neymar, Stephen Curry, etc. have also been associated with the NFT craze.

It turns out that more brands and celebrities have entered the NFT market, trying to create NFT derivatives with their influence in the real world and deploy NFT products to layer brand value with rarity and character. unique to the NFT. And the influence of personal intellectual property to increase value empowerment. The combination of NFT artworks with actual products and recreations also allows everyone to see the practical application value of NFT besides being the entrance, identity symbol or avatar in Metaverse , it can also be a variety of fashionable items for daily wear and use, showing the value of NFT and self-expression.

Value overlay of NFTs, brand IP and sports

Speaking of BAYC, it is the “OG” of the NFT industry, this project was launched in March 2021 and quickly blew up the blockchain field and the Web3.0 community. The floor price increased 1338 times from 0.08ETH on the day of issuance. Justin Bieber bought a BAYC NFT for $1.29 million (500 ETH), Jimmy Fallon bought a BAYC with a striped t-shirt and sunglasses at the high price of $220,000, and Eminem spent 460,000 $ to become a BAYC holder. What makes top stars so crazy that they used their BAYCs as their personal social account profile picture? The price has increased until today. Topics like the $180,000 portrait of Stephen Curry and Jay Chou (the King of Mandopop) claiming his $500,000 cash was stolen. make the general public curious about NFTs and BAYC.

#2087 BAYC, 769ETH

In addition to the wave of offline device-related products, Yuga Labs, the founding team of BAYC, also teamed up with “22:22” to create KINGSHIP – an idol group consisting of a mutant monkey and three bored monkeys. Timbaland also used his bored monkey as a virtual musician and signed hip-hop group BAYC TheZoo to promote NFT music. Lively discussions in the community, frequent social media exposure, and creative postings on BAYC made this bored monkey not boring at all. Even if you don’t know NFT, you must have known this monkey.

BAYC’s influence not only plays an important role in the development of the NFT market, but also creates more possibilities through co-creation with music, fashion and other fields. So why is LI-NING partnering with BAYC? Does LI-NING try to use BAYC and enter the Metaverse?

Now, whether it’s NFT or blockchain, new business models are pushing companies or brands to transform and move closer to Web 3.0, like the Internet wave, for fear of missing out. and to be left behind by the market. Most enterprises and brands are using the Web3.0 marketing model, transforming the user’s virtual role from an exaggerated game into an embodiment of real value, realizing the transformation of Web3.0. However, very few companies have taken advantage of the Web3.0 heat wave to reverse the added value of traditional markets.

When everyone wants to enter NFT and Metaverse market, LI-NING has transformed NFT into branded products through BAYC design. Its own brand value and influence, superimposed on BAYC NFT’s commercial value and attention, has brought new changes to LI-NING’s own products, not only popularizing the NFT trend market to the public, but also allowing everyone to learn more about the value of the metaverse world. The value of BAYC NFT is the recognition of digital identity, so the bored monkey wearing LI-NING clothes is undoubtedly a synthesis of the promotion of sports culture, pop culture and the consensus of the values of the LI-NING’s point of view. As the LI-NING brand itself is a promoter of sports and pop culture, the brand believes in the process of involvement in the Metaverse field to bring about different Metaverse pop culture and sports journey.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics successfully made “Bingdundun” appear worldwide, and the official NFT blind box was launched online. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has also launched a game about the Winter Olympics under the NFT hot trend. Players can get an Olympic NFT badge throughout the game. The combination of NFT and the traditional sports market not only makes the NFT market more “normal to the real world”, but also opens up a new business model for the traditional market. . According to a report by investment bank Jefferies, the market value of NFTs will grow from $14 billion today to $75 billion by 2025, with most of the growth being driven by the sports NFT market . The main stadium of the Los Angeles Lakers has changed its name to “Crypto”.

Sports culture is used as a bridge to connect the tradition of Web2.0 and the trend of Web3.0. Traditional enterprises achieve Web3.0 marketing through NFT layout, and Web3.0 strengthens Web2.0 by NFT. NFT marketing + branding + sports culture are also very likely to become the “Next Big Thing” driven by traditional and crypto markets.

As a representative of Chinese sports brand and a pioneer of sports culture, LI-NING incorporates bored monkey BAYC as a design element and launches products as a new series, bringing Web3.0 into real life . By developing pop culture activities such as skateboards, motorcycles and frisbees, and at the same time promoting the spirit of “life attitude”, which is also in line with the concept of current NFT followers : “more creation, more attitude, more value, and more for life”.

From the perspective of fashion brands, BAYC Bored Ape, as store managers in the LI-NING pop-up store, can be used as an online prototype to carry out Metaverse Bored Ape Model Fashion Week. Accessories are mainly based on LI-NING’s actual design products, or launch an online dress-up store, make different clothing combinations or DIY designs, and sell physical products offline. In this way, everyone can participate in the design of LI-NING, and the creators of the designs used for sale can also get a certain percentage. But these are just a few ideas of possibilities for the future development of LI-NING.

Also, researching other sports-related projects, Sorare, an Ethereum soccer blockchain game, uses soccer player cards as NFT collections. And the Boxing Boyz Metaverse, an NFT cooperative Metaverse game from Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr, is a virtual world game that incorporates boxing. Or NBA released the NFT series, The Association. So will Li-NING join forces with other brands to establish the Metaverse Olympics, integrating traditional sports like table tennis, gymnastics, basketball, etc., or other sports pop culture like frisbee and motorbike?

Different from the traditional competition in which the country is the representative team, the Metaverse Olympics can follow the example of music idol group Zoo bored ape in the form of a combination of free group, form its own club sports and participate in various competitions. By combining products or casting group clothes through NFT DIY, with LI-NING’s logo, these imaginations not only saw more creative gameplay for NFT promotion, but also gave more value to NFT, creating a new business model for the traditional market.

NFT not only meets the needs of sports fans without violating the spirit of sports, but also opens a new door for the sports market and traditional IP brands. Sports leagues, athletes and other real-life celebrities are gaining popularity with fans and consumers, and the new NFT, sports and pop culture business model will be more convenient and efficient. LI-NING’s NFT journey in the near future begins with the integration of Web3.0 into real life and the physical construction of the Metaverse scene.

The County 1474, with a presale estimate of £120,000-140,000, sold for the highest price of the day.

After being completely restored, the tractor attracted considerable interest before the sale.

Another notable lot was a 1956 Fowler VF Crawler, which was found in its original condition having been used on the Landwade Hall Estate, near Newmarket, since new.

It sold for £16,080, against a pre-sale estimate of £6-7,000 and is a new record price for this particular model.

The sale also saw Cheffins’ largest shipment of motorcycles to date, with several high prices secured from the 80 lots on offer.

A collectible 1923 Morgan-Darmont Sports Model 980cc three-wheeler sold for £21,920 to a buyer in Lincolnshire, while a P&M ‘Rob North’ Triumph T150 racing motorcycle fetched £10,412, after having been sold to a collector in Northern Ireland.

£73,000 was paid for this 2004 JCB 2140

Other significant sales in the section included £9,644 paid for a 1950 499cc Norton 500T motorcycle and £8,329 for a 1952 499cc Sunbeam.

There was also a huge automobilia lot on offer, with over 400 lots under the hammer.

A P&M ‘Rob North’ Triumph T150 race bike fetched £10,412

“The market is alive and well, in fact thriving, as collectors still have money in the bank that they want to invest in something tangible.

“Something they can see, use and enjoy.

“Collectors are getting younger and younger, so the market is really focusing on tractors and machines from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, as they are looking to buy back some of their youth.

“It is impossible to put a price on the value of nostalgia.

“Many buyers are also looking for tractors that they believe will become the next collector’s item and an investment that will pay off.

“It appears that the market bets right now are mostly focused on Ford variants, such as County and Roadless, which are seeing double-digit year-over-year price growth.”

A collectible 1923 Morgan-Darmont Sports Model 980cc 3-wheeler sold for £21,920

Oliver continued, “It wasn’t just the tractors that made a lot of money from this sale.

“The classic motorcycle market is also vibrant, with buyers focusing on some of the earlier models from the 1950s and 1960s, while fresh-to-market automobilia items have attracted collectors from all over to bid live and online. .

“Automobilia has become a new class of collector in its own right and has seen strong growth in values as these vintage forecourt pieces become increasingly sought after.

“By running the sale over two days, we were able to offer live bidding on all sections and were delighted to welcome buyers, old and new, back to Sutton.”

The next collective sale will take place on Saturday July 23, at the Cheffins Machinery Sale Ground, Sutton, Ely, CB6 2QT.
